allow connection to ssl server via command line

Edit: using the /connect command

If you add that server to your .tinyrc.yml you can connect to it by providing the server's name as command line argument to tiny. Suppose the server is chat.foobarbaz.net, add it to your .tinyrc.yml and run tiny as tiny foobarbaz.

Does this not work for you?

I didn't mean that but it is nice.What I mean is to allow connection to ssl irc servers using /connect command.

Ah! I misunderstood. Yeah /connect should support SSL somehow. I don't know how to tell SSL from non-SSL servers so let's think about this for a bit.

I investigated how hexchat handle it. It cannot automatically tell SSL server from non-SSL server.

Their docs: http://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings.html

User need to tell hexchat that it should use SSL. For example, wIth the url chat.freenode.net/6697, I cannot join the server, probably because hexchat is connecting in non-SSL mode. With chat.freenode.net/+6697, connection will success.
